You're not listening!

I'm trying to tell you
something.

Ma'am, you are
under arrest

for driving under
the influence. No, he killed her!

He threw her off the balcony,

and he killed her!

Would you sten?

The deceased is
Tiffany Barnes, age 23.

Cause of death: massive trauma,
internal hemorrhaging

incurred in a fall from
the 11th story balcony

of her apartment.

Now, there was no anomalous
bruising, defense marks,

or any other sign of a struggle.

Normally, we would close
this as a suicide,

but we have a witness
who saw a man

throw the deceased
off the balcony.

Can the witness ID?

She claims it was Kyle Canterel.

The baseball player?

Every sporting magazine's
athlete of the year?

Kyle Canterel's more
than a baseball player,

h's a crossover celebrity.

He's an endorsement machine.

People who have never
even seen a ballgame

still know who Kyle Canterel is.

Especially here--
local boy made good.

The man can throw.

And the witness?

Tara Welch, the victim's sister.

But she is problematic,
to say the least.

She left the scene
and was picked up

for a DUI.

Well, what about Canterel?

Well, normally, we'd bring
him in for questioning,

but given
the circumstances...

Look, it behooves us
and Canterel

to keep the media
away from this.

So, until we know
the facts,

let's just keep this
out of the news.

Maureen, why d't you and Lou

talk to Canterel
at his home,

rule him
in or out.

Just keep it under the radar.

I dread celebrity cases.

Even if you win, you lose,
and you almost never win.

And if you do win,
like the Mike Tyson rape ce,

everybody still hates you
for putting their hero in jail.

Oh, she's going to make
a great witness.

Tell me again.

Kyle, Mr. America,

the-sun-shines-out-my-butt
Canterel,

killed my sister.

I saw him do it.

Did you live with
your sister? No.

Where do you live?

I was staying with her

until I found my own place.

What happened
to your place?

They wanted rent.

Better
and better.

A drunken
homeless woman.

How long was
Kyle Canterel

involved with
your sister? About a year.

Long enough to knock her up.

Tiffany was pregnant
with Canterel's child?

That's why he killed her.

She didn't want to have
an abortion.

Do you know Tiffany Barnes?

I don't think so.

I meet a lot of people,
detective, so...

Honey, does that
ring a bell?

Tiffany...
Barnes.

Barnes?
No.

Should I?

Why do you
want to know?

Where were you last night,
Mr. Canterel?

Kyle.

I was here at home.

All night?

We live a pretty
quiet life, detective.

I train pretty hard
in the off season.

I'm no kid, you know,

I've got
to keep up with it.

So we usually turn in
pretty early.

Had dier,
watched some TV, went to bed.

You remember what time
you went to bed?

What is this?

Do you?

Well, um...

Got in bed, watched
a few minutes of Letterman,

caught the "Top Ten" list,

went to sleep.

You home all night?

What is this about?

Miss Barnes was found dead
last night.

That's terrible.

But I don't know what
that has to do with me.

There's a witness
who said you did it.

That's not possible.

My husband was at home
last night in bed with me.

Tell me about the relationship

between Tiffany
and Kyle Canterel.

She loved him.

Okay.

See, the difference
between me and Tiff

is after a few drinks,
I just slept with these guys.

And, Tiffany...

she had her one guy,

who she really loved.

She gave herself to him.

You know?

And that bastard killed her.

I need a drink.

A drink is
the last thing you need.

What do you know about it?

Tara, tell me
about that night.

I woke up when I heard
Canterel's voice.

Did he know you were
staying there?

No.

Go on.
They were out on the balcony.

I got out of bed,
and I looked around the door,

and I saw them there.

Then he hugged her.

And I could see her face...
like on his shoulder.

She was smiling

like everything was
going to be all right.

And what happened next?

He lifted her,

li real gentle, like...

a bride.

And then he just...

dropped her over the edge.

Then he left.

Then what?

Then I ran over to the balcony
and I looked over.

And then I saw her,
and then I ran to my car.

Why didn't you
call 9-1-1?

Because I was scared.

I was freaked.

And I was on my way driving
to the police station, I swear.

What happens now?

We try to corroborate
your story.

You don't believe me?

It's not a matter of
whether I believe you.

People like you always
believe people like him.

Kyle Canterel

is lying.

He knew the victim.

His prints are
all over her apartment.

What did you match them with,
does he have a record?

No, no, but luckily for us,
Major League Baseball

takes a beautiful
right, left,

full set of prints
for their

multi-million dollar
investments.

First base.
Itets better.

We did a paper chase
on the apartment lease--

Canterel paid the rent

through his
agent's account.

Rounding second.

Well, we have a broken
glass on the floor

in the doorway
with Tara's prints,

and the sprawl
on the carpet

is consistent
with bourbon.

Third base;
an eyewitness, prints,

and he lied to us.

But why would he lie
about the girl,

something we can
check so easily?

Sheer arrogance.

He thought his fame
would protect him.

Yeahif Canterel didn't do it,

he's su hiding something.

Let's bring him in
and put him

on the record
this time.

The M.E. confirms that
the victim was pregnant.

So let's compel

a DNA sample
from Mr. Canterel,

and prove
he's the father. Okay.

And let's dig
into Tiffany's past,

Tara's, and Canterel's, too.

I don't want any ugly surprises.

Annabeth, you'll take
point on this.

So I guess that makes mine
the most dispensable career?

Maureen is up to her neck
in a death penalty appeal.

It's never ending.

And if this turns into
a celebrity murder trial,

Canterel is going to hire
a monster lawyer to defend him,

and he'll take one look at you

and assume he can
eat you for breakfast.

So it's David versus Goliath?

We all know how that turned out.

Don't worry,
I got your back.

Jody with a "Y"?

A murder suspect.

And they're asking
for his autograph.

It's Kyle Canterel
in the flesh.

I mean,
it's all I can do

to not ask
for his autograph.

Guess I'll have to settle
for some DNA.

I understand
you're in charge?

Paul Ramont.

Deputy Prosecutor,
Annabeth Chase.

This is much ado abo nothing.

A woman was murdered.

I doubt you flew
all the way

in here from Los Angeles
over nothing.

Well, I'm here because

celebrities are targets,
young lady.

They're magnets

for publicity hungry,
politically ambitious,

over-reaching prosecutors.

Let's get started.

Explain to me, Mr. Canterel,
how your fingerprints

could be all over the apartment
of someone you don't know.

And while you're at it,

explain to me why
you would pay the rent

for a person you've never met.

You lied, Mr. Canterel,

why is that?

I'm in the room,
counselor.

Your client lied,
Mr. Ramont, why?

He lied about
having an affair.

That's not a crime.

It is if it impedes
an investigation.

Oh.

Your client lied about
knowing Tiffany Barnes.

He also neglected
to mention

that he paid
for her apartment,

so that does make us wonder
if he also lied

abt not
killing her. I lied because...

I'll field this, thank you.

My client will
admit to having

an intimate relationship

with this poor young lady,

and he will admit
to providing her

with a place
to live.

But that's it.
Mm.

Were you at the apartment

that night,
Mr. Canterel?

Don't
answer that.

He has an
alibi witness,

and you have nothing
to place him at the scene.

Except an eyewitness.

Oh, yes, yes.
Yes, right.

How about this--
we put him in a line up,

see if the witness
points him out?

You have a lively sense
of humor, Miss Chase.

Unless you're seriously

suggesting putting up one
of the world's

most recognized men,
just to see if anybody recognizes him.

I live for cross examinations
like that.

It's what gets me up

in the morning.
Let's go.

Hmm, and me
with just an alarm clock.

Oh, one second.

There's still this matter
of collecting a DNA sample

from Mr. Canterel.

Do I really have
to submit to this?

Tiffany Barnes was pregnan
I'm sure you want

to rule your client out
as the father.

I'm sorry,
Mr. Canterel.

Could you just open up
your mouth?

Reign in your girl, Steve.

I'll drag the trial on
for months,

I'll bury you in motions.

I will stretch the resources

of your office to the limit.

If you try my client
for this nonsense,

I will shut your office down,

and when Kyle walks
out with an acquittal--

and he's going to walk out
with an acquittal--

you're going to have egg
on your face

you'll never be able
to wash off.

She really
got him going.

This is working
out well.

So, have we destroyed
Canterel's alibi yet?

The problem is
a murder went down

at 4:00 in the morning.

Now we canvassed
the apartment building,

but not too many people
awake at that hour.

No security camera
in the lobby?

Well, Canterel had a key.

And he probably came in
through the garage,

but the camera
is busted down there.

Okay, we need to
independently place him

at the scene of the crime.

Talk to taxi drivers,
street cleaners.

Somebody had to see him there.

Excuse me?

Excuse me!

Yeah?

Can I talk to
you for a minute?

You recognize this?

Yeah, looks like that Mercedes

that damn near hit my truck
the other morning.

Comes screaming
around theorner,

runs the stop sign, right?

I flip the guy off,
hoping he'd want

to come back and discuss it.
He didn't.

What about him?

That's the guy.

You're sure?
Yeah. We looked

each other in the eye, man.

What time was it,
you remember?

It was 4:30, around there.

Take a close look.

You know him from
anywhere else? No.

You a baseball fan?
No.

It's like watching paint dry.

How about TV?
I don't own one.

I like to read.

Mr. Ramont,

I thought you might like to know
my office just issued a warrant

for Kyle Canterel's arrest

for the murder
of Tiffany Barnes.

Does the term career-ending
mistake mean anything to you?

He'll be out on bail
by the end of the day.

The shame I feel at

deceiving my fans
and the public, my teammates,

and most importantly my wife,
Christy,

who deserves so much more
from me--

it's indescribable.

The confessional
press conference.

Responsibility means
just saying you're sorry.

Ramont'll put him on
TV, but he won't put him on the stand.

I've never strayed before,
and I promise,

I never will again.

This tragic mistake has resulted
in consequences that...

You think that's true?

What?

That Tiffany was
his first mistake?

A guy like that has a girl
in every stadium.

I support my hband,
and I stand behind him.

Somehow, we'll get through this.

All right, folks, that's it
for now. Thank you very much.

We need to find
another girl.

He's claiming this
is a one-time thing,

so let's prove
he's lying.

Then let's focus
on Canterel's career.

Talk to his agents, managers,
teammates, PR hacks.

If Canterel had a lady habit,
they'd know.

Sure, I could give you
a bunch of names,

but it's not going
to make any difference.

Canterel knows
who the girls are,

where they are,

and how big a check
to write to keep them quiet.

What about his teammates?

No player is going
to say anything against him.

That's like turning
on themselves.

You ever been to a hotel lobby
when a pro team comes to town?

No.

I used to know
their schedules by heart.

So did dozens and dozens
of other girls.

The players would come in,
and they'd take their pick.

Is that what
happened to Tiffany?

No. She came to visit me,

and went to one party
after a football game.

Canterel was there.

Who else was at the parties

besides thplayers
and the girls?

Agents, managers, groupies.

Everyone but the wives.

Write down everybody
you can think of.

Oh!

It's like a showdown
at the OK Corral.

A couple of
gunslingers.

Want to draw at
20 paces? Come on.

What can I do you for you?

Neither one of us
wants a trial,

so let's put this
thing to bed right now.

My client will plead to
impeding an investigation

and false representation,
and we wilaccept a deal

that includes two years
unsupervised probation.

No deal.

Come back with guilty
on murder one,

we counter life
with possibility.

Look, now, slow down.

Before you
reject the deal,

throw this into your
calculations.

Two years ago, Tiffany
Barnes was under observation

at a Louisville
mental facility

after a suicide
attempt.

If you're referring
to an overnight hospital stay

in October of 2004 in the
Jefferson County Hospital--

which isn't a mental facility,
just aegular old hospital--

where she was admitted

complaining of anxiety
and chest pains

following her father's death,

then, no, I'm not ready
to make a deal.

Well, you conveniently omitted

that the doctor prescribed her
antidepressants,

a prescription
she continued to fill,

long after it was
medically necessary.

So if you want to bitch slap me,

you should get
your story straight.

Actually, we did find
a full bottle of pills

in her medicine cabinet,
dated from last year.

She direfill the prescription,
but she never took the pills.

I'd be happy
to have the inventory

of evidence faxed over
to you again.

We could even highlight it
for you.

I'll see you in
court, partner.

first thing Ramont to do is demonize our victim.

He'll say Tiffany Barnes
was a mentally unstable

baseball groupie looking
for a lifetime meal ticket.

So how do we defend her?

Well, for one thing,

Tiffany had only been
in this city for a year.

And in that time, she held down
a job waiting tables,

while attending community
college studying web design.

Right.

e didn't seek Canterel out.

The only reason
they came together

was because of her sister.

Where are we with Canterel?

Well, Tara pretty much
called it.

All his old girlfriends
have suddenly taken off

for the Bahamas, Mexico, and one
of them prefers Switzerland.

So what now?

I've gone back to his
pre-superstar days,

and I've found an ex-agent
who might have an ax to grind.

Good. We also need
to bulletproof our eyewitness.

Tara needs to be fully aware

of the muck that Ramont is going
to throw at her.

First, he'll go afr her
for being a booze hound.

Second...
Excuse me, Miss Chase.

There's a Mrs. Barnes
in the lobby.

Oh.
MAUREEN: You stay here.

I'll handle it.
Thanks.

Tara was always a rebel.

That's how God

made her.

Or maybe that's how I made her.

What about Tiffany?

I was too harsh,

too strict,

too judgmental on both my girls.

They couldn't wait
to get away from me.

And now my
baby girl's

dead, and her sister
wants nothing to do with me.

Have you tried

to talk to her?

Tara didn't even
come down to Kentucky for e funeral.

It's because of me.

She thinks I blame her.

Mrs. Barnes,

you are going to hear things
in court,

and see things on TV

about both of your daughters

that are less than flattering.

Well, whatever that is,

it can't compare
to losing a child.

I can't lose them both.

Can you please tell the jury
what happened next?

The next thing that I saw happen
was that Canterel

walked Tiffany...

Try to remember to
speak in the present.

Bring the jury with you.

He walks Tiffany out

onto the balcony

and hugs her.

I see her smile.

Look at the jury.

Then he picks her up

like a bride

and drops her over the railing,
11 stories down.

What do you do?

I hide behind the door.

Tara, you forgot the
part about you dropping

the drink.

No, I didn't forget.

I didn't want to say that.

Well, Ramont will say it.

Then he'll tell
the jury how you've

been in and out of rehab.

He'll dig up old boyfriends

who will swear you
got loaded

and lied to them
about all kinds of things.

They'll make your sister look
like a whore,

and he'll make you look
even worse.

Who the hell's side are you on?

Yours.

It doesn't feel like it.

Tara, are you okay?

Am I sober?

Yeah.

I go to two meetings every day,

and I am so sick
of Alcoholics Anonymous.

But yes, I'm sober.

And I'm going
to stay sober.

Tara,

you can't do this all
by yourself. You need support.

Maureen and I can only do
so much.

You need your family around you.

Your mother
came to see me.

And what did she say to you?

She said to tell you
that she loves you.

Well,

good for her.

I think it's a little too late
for at.

So when did you stop being

Mr. Canterel's agent?

Back in the
late '90s.

Right after he
broke his deal

and screwed me out
of $3.5 million.

I see.

Guy goes through agents
like M&Ms.

Who's Amber Phillips?

Might have been one
of his personal assistants.

There's a $40,000 payment here.

That assistance must have been
pretty damn personal.

How was his check sent?

Courier, probably.

You keep a log

of that sort of thing?

No, but I'll bet
the courier service does.

So this is
what the first day

of a celebrity
trial looks like.

Yeah. I woer who's gonna play
me in the movie. Back up.

Out of my way, please.

Back it up.

Just got to get
to the car.

Do not take a picture
of my child.

Guys, back it up,
back it up.

Open it.

Steve, you shouldn't have.

David slew Goliath
with one of those.

Now it's your turn.

I had a hell of a time
getting that throughecurity.

This trial is about one thing
and one thing only.

Who do you believe?

Now, if you believe the
prosecution's only witness--

an alcoholic,
homeless, desperate,

attention-hungry young woman

with a history
of emotional problems--

if you decide to believe
her unsubstantiated story

beyond a reasonable doubt
and you don't believe my client,

then, yes, you have to convict.

But, I know
my client's innocent.

And after you've heard
all the facts,

I know that you will, too.

Call your firswitness,
Miss Chase.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Prosecution calls
Leonard Myerson to the stand.

Your Honor, Your Honor, in
the interest of a speedy trial,

defense is willing to stipulate
that this gentleman

n place my client
in the vicinity

of the victim's
apartment

on the night in question.

Don't I need to get
sworn in or something?

Not anymore.
Take your seat, Mr. Myerson.

We further stipulate
that indeed

Mr. Canterel's
fingerprints were found

in Miss Barnes' apartment,

and we can also save prosecution
the trouble

of calling the forensic
accountant, as we can also stip

that Mr. Canterel paid for
Miss Barnes' apartment.

Now, as regards to the
medical examiner's testimony,

'll stipulate
Miss Barnes was pregnant,

and DNA tests will prove that
Mr. Canterel was the father.

And we will also stipulate
that Miss Barnes died

as a result of a fall
from her balcony.

So really, all that remains

of the prosecution's
expert testimony

would be the question of
whether Miss Barnes' body

bore the signs of a struggle,

which, as perhaps
the prosecution will stipulate,

it did not.
Your Honor,

even though I'm not sure

if counsel is making an offer

or testifying,

we will stipulate
that the victim's body

showedo signs of struggle,
since the defendant

picked her up
and threw her off the balcony.

Objection. Now who's testifying?

Sustained.

So much for
my first four witnesses.

The only witness Ramont
wants is Tara Welch,

so he can tear into her.

Call your next witness,
counselor.

I'll be calling Tara Welch,
Your Honor.

Given the new order, I'll need
a few minutes to get her.

She ready?

As ready as she'll ever be.

That's not exactly the level
of comfort I was hoping for.

Sit up in the chair,
lean slightly forward.

Look at the jury.

Not on every answer,
only the important ones,

answer in my own words.

Is my mother here?

Yes.

I can't.

We will get rid of your mom,
if that's what it takes.

I can't remember
what I'm supposed to say.

You saw Canterel
murder your sister,

you saw him lift her up
and throw her off the balcony.

I'm not sure.

I mean, I think he did.

They got to you,
didn't they?

Who was it? Was it Ramont?

What did he offer you?

Nothing.
Did you talk to Ramont?

Did he contact you?
Yes.

Oh, my God.

I smell alcohol on her breath.

Tara, have you
been drinking?

How much
did he pay you? Nothing.

I'll stall the judge,
you take her up

to the office and get
some coffee down her.

Won't help, it's a myth.

Then get a strong black
cup of myth down her.

Look at me.

You've been doing so good.
What is going on?

I'm scared.
You can tell me.

Tell me.

I killed her.

I killed Tiffany.

why do you think it's
your fault she's dead?

Because, it is.

Okay, st start at
the beginning, Tara.

Why?

What happened?

Tiffany was pregnant.

Canterel wanted her
to have an abortion.

She wanted to keep the baby.

I knew Canterel wasn't
going to leave his wife

to marry Tiffany.

And she was going
to need money

to raise the baby, to live.

She could have sued
for child support.

She wouldn't hurt him like that.

She thought
that he still loved her.

I tried to argue wh her.

I told her that she was being
stupid, because she was.

But she didn't listen to me.

So...

What did you do?

I called Canterel...

and told him
that I wanted money,

a lot of it.

Or I'd sell the story
to the tabloids.

Either Kyle was going
to pay me or they would.

I just wanted her
to have something, you know?

I didn't want her
to end up like me.

Why didn't you
tell us this earlier?

Why are you
telling us this now?

'Cause Canterel's lawyers
came to see me last night,

and they told me that
if I went up on that stand,

that I'd get charged with
blackmail, or I'd go to prison.

They were just
trying to scare you.

We need you on the stand.

How am I going
to go in there

and look my mom in the eye...

when it's my fault
that Tiffany died?

You didn't kill your sister.

Kyle Canterel did.

It's still my fault.

Ramont will rip her
to shreds on cross.

What are we
going to do?

Rip her to shreds first.

Torch our own witness?

That's a high-risk strategy.

If we let Ramont
force this out of her,

the jury will never believe
another word she says.

But if she tells the truth
about herself, warts and all,

the jury will believe
she's telling the trut

about Canterel
killing her sister.

If they believe her,
it might force Canterel

to take the stand
to refute her.

We should
be so lucky.

Just remember, no matter
how rough it gets in there,

no matter how much I tear you
apart, I'still on your side.

Mama's going to
love this one.

Tara, it's time
to stand up for yourself.

And stand up for your sister.

Do you have a drinking
problem, Tara?

Yes.

Were you drinking the
night your sister died?

Yes.

How much?

A lot.

Were you, in fact, drunk?

Yes.

Are you drunk a lot?
Yes.

Almost every day.

Would you
consider yourself

an alcoholic?

Yes, I would.

Are you a liar, too?

Yes.

Did you lie to the police when
you told them you didn't know

why Kyle Canterel

came to visit your ster
the night she died?

Objection, leading.

It isn't. Overruled.

You may answer.

Yes, I was lyi then.

Why?

Why did you lie?

I was scared.

I was ashamed.

Of what?

Of something that I did...

...that caused Kyle Canterel
to kill my sister.

Tell us, Tara.

Tell us actly what you did.

I tried to blackmail
Kyle Canterel.

Tell us the truth
in your own words.

I heard Kyle comin.

I got up and listened
behind the door.

Could you make
out words?

No.

They were on the balcony.

But I saw

everything.

What did you see?

I saw Kyle

hugging my sister.

I saw her smile.

And then I saw him lift her up

in his arms, like a bride.

And then he dropped her
over the edge.

You were drunk that night.

Yes.

Too drunk to know whatou saw?

No.

I saw Kyle Canterel
kill my sister.

You tried to blackmail
Mr. Canterel, am I right?

That's right.

And he didn't pay, did he?

No.
So you want to get revenge, don't you?

No.

I want justice.

Is that right?

Tara, why should we believe
that this is anything more

than the drunken ramblings
of a jealous, bitter woman

out to make a buck
off her own sister's death?

Because I'm telling the truth.

And because I love my sister.

No further questions.

Your witness.

You may cross examine.

Your Honor, it seems Miss Chase
has asked all my questions.

You're dismissed.

No, I'm sorry, Your Honor,

I do, I have
one question.

Go ahead.

Miss Welch,
just so the jury is clear,

is this a fair summary
of events?

On the night that your sister

leapt from the balcony
and killed herself...

Objection.

Withdrawn.

The night your sister fell
11 stories to her death,

wereou or were you not
so utterly drunk

that you didn't even
bother to call 911,

and instead, you
fled the scene,

and you were arrested
for drunk driving?

True or false?

That's true.

I have no further use
for this witness.

JUDGE:
You may stand down.

Mrs. Davis,
Amber Davis?

Yes?

Did your name
used to be

Amber Phillips?

Before I got married.

Kyle's lawyer
said they'd sue me.

I mean, I signed
some sort of paper back then.

Um...
Nondisclosure.

That was it.

I've seen the checks.

We can bring them into
the court, you, too.

We can make you
take the stand.

Oh, God.

The only thing we can't do
is make you tell the truth.

They said they'd
ruin my fe,

my family.

I'm married now, I have a child.

It's striking.

What is?

How much Canterel's
girlfriend looked like you.

He threw her off a balcony.

I was watching the jury;
they believed it.

You think?
Absolutely.

What do you think
they're talking about?

STEVE:
Tara was so convincing, they're debating whether

to put Canterel
on the stand.

No way-- Ramont wouldn't

take that kind of a risk.

Their client's celebrity is
the only card they have left.

Let's see if we can push him
over the edge.

Paul.

Well, it's come down
to a "he said, she said."

They've heard
the "she."

I wonder if you've
got the stones

to let them hear
the "he."

Gloating doesn't
become you, Steve.

And, yes, congratulations,

your girl painted me
into a corner.

But tell her
to enjoy

her little
victory tonight.

Because tomorrow,

the world goes back
to loving Kyle Canterel.

Huh?

See you tomorrow.

He's putting Canterel
on the stand.

Can you take him?

Mr. Canterel.

Did you have an affair
with Tiffany Barnes?

Yes.

How long
did it last?

About two years.

Who-who broke it off,
you or her?

I did.

Why?

I knew it was wrong.

I, uh, wanted to try
to repaimy marriage.

Is this the first
affair you'd had?

Yes.

And did Miss Barnes
get pregnant? Yes.

By you?
Yes.

And did you insist
that she have an abortion?

No.

I couldn't hear you.

I said no.

It was Tiffany
who insisted on the abortion.

I wanted to support the child,

or at least have her
give it up for adoption.

RAMONT:
And you fought about this?

We argued,
I wouldn't say we fought.

Now at some point,

did Miss Barnes
threaten to go public?

Actually,

it was her sister, Tara.

So did you go
to Tiffany's

apartment on the night
in question?

Started to.

Why?

Tiffany called.

She was crying,

threatening to do something
to herself.

So you went there
to comfort her?

Objection. Leading.

Sustained.
Why did you go

to the
apartment?

To comfo her.

To try to stop her
from hurting herself.

I felt...
I felt responsible.

And did you comfort her?

No, I never got there.

Why?

I rushed over
to Tiffany's place,

but when I got there,

I saw police flashers,
sirens.

I got out of there.

Why did you leave?

I was afraid.

Ashamed.

Kyle...

did you kill Tiffany Barnes?

No.

I had nothing to do

with the death
of Tiffany Barnes.

No further questions.

Your witness.

Morning.

Morning.

You're an honest man,

right, Mr. Canterel?

Try to be.

You wouldn't lie.

Certainly not under oath.

Is there a question the?
Isn't that right?

I was sworn
to tell the truth, and I am.

So, you only tell the truth
when sworn to, is that right?

No.
But when my office first

contacted you, you said
that you didn't know

Tiffany Barnes,
didn't you?

That's right.

Well, that was a lie.

You lied then, didn't you?
Yes.

I did.

You also said
that you were home

all that night
in bed with your wife.

I said that, yes.

That was another lie, wasn't it?

Yes.

I was trying to protect
my family-- my wife, my kids.

There is no question pending,
Mr. Canterel.

I wasn't under oath
when I said that.

Well, you're under oath

now, Mr. Canterel,
so let me ask you.

This was your first and only
affair, is that your testimony?

Yes.
And you're sworn to that one, right?

RAMONT:
Your Honor? Withdrawn.

First girlfriend
you got pregnant, Mr. Canterel?

Obviously.
I'm sorry, I didn't quite hear you.

I said, "Obviously."

You're against abortion

on moral grounds, is that true?

Yes.

I think it's wrong.

You were angry at Tiffany

for wanting to have one?

I wasn't angry, as
much as I was sad.

Did you rehearse
that answer

with your counsel?

Your Honor, Counsel knows
perfectly well that

she's not entitled...
Withdrawn.

Behave yourself, Counselor.

So needless to say,
you didn't offer to pay

for an abortion?

Of course not.

So hypothetically,

if another woman,

a former girlfriend...

Objection. Assumes facts
not in evidence.

I'm perfectly entitled
to a hypothetical, Your Honor.

Overruled.

Incomplete hypothetical,
Your Honor.

Let me complete it for you.

If there were
a former girlfriend

who had gotten pregnant,

and if she were
to testify,

under oath, that
you had pressed her

to get an abortion...
Compound.

Argumentative.
...and if she said

that you'd paid for it...

Objection, objection! Objection!

...and if we could
produce this witness,

and bring her into court...
Your Honor!

...if she testified
that you threatened her

if she said anything,
that you would kill her...

Miss Chase!

...she'd be lying,

is that right, Mr. Canterel?

This is just a stunt
to get...

I'll be happy to put
her on the stand,

Your Honor, if Counsel
will agree to suspending

Mr. Canterel's
testimony until...

She's lying!

Who is, Mr. Canterel?

Whatever she said,
she's lying.

But I thought you
said she didn't exist,

Mr. Canterel.

Wasn't that your testimony

of a few minutes ago?

You didn't pay
for her abortion then?

No.
You didn't offer

to pay for Tiffany's?

No.
You didn't threaten

to kill this woman?
No!

You weren't concerned
that Tiffany was gonna

go public
with her story?

No!
You didn't go to Tiffany's

apartment that night
to make sure

she kept quiet?
No.

You didn't
pick her up... No.

...and toss her away
like garbage? No!

No!

No further questions.

You heard and saw Tara Welch.

You heard and saw Kyle Canterel.

Now I want you to ask yourselves

which of them
was telling the truth.

Which of them do you believe?

The alcoholic nobody,

or the celebrity?

Because you must
consider them equally.

The law is simple.

If justice means anything,
it means that.

They are equal.

In the matter
of The State of Indiana

v. Kyle Canterel,
on charge one,

the murder in the first
degree of Tiffany Barnes,

the jury finds
the defendant...

not guilty.

Yeah!

The jury let him off
because of his fame.

Don't second guess yourself.

Show me a prosecutor

with a perfect
conviction record,

I'll show you a prosecutor
hiding from tough cases.

Poor Ta.

Canterel will pay
for this, believe me.

For a celebrity, there are
worse things than jail.

His life
as he knows it-- it's over.

Kyle, are you prepared
for a wrongful death suit?

I just have one thing.

I want to thank my wife

who stood by me
through this whole...

Do you expect to
lose endorsements?

Do you believe your
husband is innocent?

Do you think this will keep
you out of the Hall of Fame?

The thing to focus on here
is that the system worked.

Are you expecting more women
to come forward?

How are you?

It's not like I
expected to win.

I just wanted people
to know the truth.

How are you?

I'm devastated.

Tara, don't let this be
an excuse to fall back, okay?

Don't let them kill
both your sister and you.

Tara?

Oh, God.

I wanted you to know...

...I'm proud of you.

Thanks, Mama.
